Rear Admiral A F Pugsley: I lived next door to "The Admiral", as the villagers knew him, in Somerset, visited him for a chat on a couple of occasions and attended his funeral in 1990. I briefly met his family at his funeral. Sadly, they seemed to have little idea of his incredible life. In my mind's eye I shall always remember his cap and medals on his coffin.
He made it very clear what he thought of Mountbatten and never forgave him for the JAVELIN men who died because Mountbatten took control from him.
He loved HMS JAVELIN. His house was named Javelin and he had the ship's bell hanging outside his front door, which often caused much consternation up and down the road when a visitor chose to ring it. I consider myself privileged to have known him a little and to have a signed copy of his book, Destroyer Man.
Best wishes | | | | | |

Hi David, Thanks for your kind words. How great that you found a photo of your Grandfather on my site. Let me know which one it is and| I will see what i can do. I am away for 10 days from today so will get back to you upon my return. Please could you post your e-mail onto the Javelin guest book. It helps others researching. Regards, Harry Amey | | | | | |

He was a gunner and whilst on convoy duties,his gunnery station was hit by a shell which,as he described, rattled around the encasement before exploding,causing him a head wound which left temporarily blind. His injury/memory stayed with him for the rest of his life-Bless him.How lucky was I to have such a lovely man for a Dad,though sadly we were poor all our lives,he enriched our lives with better qualities than money ever could.He is sadly missed on daily basis and when you see all this nastiness that infests this small island of ours,to think of all the heroic "Dads" that gave so much for the liberty we possess,it leaves you a little cold.God Bless all those brave people,some of us cannot/refuse to forget.Dave Oliver (loving son of Edward Harry Oliver)
